An improved element for covering an ironing surface

An element (2) for covering an ironing surface (30) comprising:

• a first zone (23) which comprises a multilayer (4) which, in turn, comprises a first upper layer (6) made of fabric, intended to be in contact with or in proximity to the garments to be ironed and/or of an iron (21), and a second underlying layer (8) which is metallized,
• a second zone (11) which comprises at least one layer (12) made of thermally insulating material, so as to define a rest area for temporarily resting a heated plate of the iron, and
• a print (39) and/or a sign at an upper/outer surface of said second zone (11) and/or at least another zone (23, 33) which is outside of said second zone (11), the print (39) and/or sign configured to indicate a time interval and/or a time value for which it is ensured that the heated plate of the iron (21) can stop in the second zone (11) without the heated plate itself damaging or deforming said second area.
